[WVWF] Re: Autistic Child Denied Participation in Boy Scouts

[Guest guest]

" Suing them will only create a greater shortage of leaders and troops. "

Suing them will also set a legal precedent, from which formal policies

can be formulated, so this will not occur over and over again, from Boy

Scout Troops nationwide. Once the courts rule (No responsibility to

accomodate, or full accomodation, partial accomodation, whatever...)

then the Scouts will have an idea of their minimum requiremrnts needed

to address the problem. I think it is an interesting case.

My daughter is now enrolled in Girl Scouts, as a Daisy Scout, but is

not in a Troop at this point by choice. She does not do well with

Group activities at this time, but when she matures and won't be so

destracting for the other members, I plan to enter her into a Troop.

She is currently a " tte " scout, which is an independent status

that enables her to take part in Council activities, but work on other

activities with me. I chose to segregate her at this time, but had I

asked for a Troop placement, I think they would have accepted her with

no problem.
